AMD DFX 6300 stock overheating

[MilicZeljko]

Hii, I have problem with AMD FX 6300, it overheats...I just search on forums and found that max core temp is 62C and max socket temp iz 70C...mine temps are lot hotter, my core temp is 77C and my stocket temp is 72C. I'm using stock cooler who I got with the CPU, I now it's bad but I don't have enough money to buy something better. I was thinking about Cooler Master 212 EVO but it cost around 5000 RSD (Serbia). Can someone help me? At least see this and explane CPU temps better?

What are the more accurate thermal margins when you use AMD Overdrive? Do they drop below 10°C at full load? If not then you don't have an overheating issue.

Hii, thank to reply that fast, I download ADM Overdrive and run prime95 about 10 minutes and this is the screenshoot during the running of prime95, google chrome and utorrent.
But I must tell thet in my room in that time was about 15C bicause I just arive home at 6:00AM and my heating was desabled.
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

I presume the thermal margins were positive when you started it, but after 10 minutes they are too low and the CPU should be throttling, i.e., it isn't running at full speed.

Thats right, first screenshot i took it wont post here and later about another 10 minutes later I made this one, what dose that mean anyway, my CPU is overheating or?

Socket temp for FX 6300 is 72°C Max safe temp for extended periods of time.
I dont know how good are you with overclocking but you can set CPU to 3.8 Ghz and under volt it, that will reduce temps by a lot.
Stock voltage is a bit to high. I had my fx 6300 at 1.368 max for 4.5 Ghz and your is running at 1.380 stock voltage.
Turn of Turbo in BIOS, set Multiplier to 19 and start testing with 1.25 Vcore voltage. If it pass prime95 test for 5 min lower it a bit more and keep doing it until it starts to show errors.After that go back to one that was good and passed prime95 test.

Yes. Follow st3v30's advice since it may allow your CPU to run cooler and prevent throttling.

I disablet turbo mode in AMD Overdrive, voltage automatically drop to 1.2000, and my Multiplier set to 17,5. Then I set it to 19 and my CPU run at 3.8 Ghz. I apply settings and run prime95 about 30 minutes and this is my results.

You should do overclocking in BIOS not in software.
Temps look a bit better now, but from screenshot 2 i can see that 2 cores got errors in prime95 so you should put bit more voltage to CPU.

 

[GhislainG]

You also shouldn't run Hardware Monitor while you run AOD. Honestly a better cooler would be best to resolve the throttling issue.

I will try in BIOS two, how can I see that? I mean can U tell me where to look? Whats write?

Whats you chose for air cooler for my CPU and setings for OC?

Any mid tower cooler should be enough to cool FX 6300 much better than AMD stock cooler.
CM 212 EVO should get you nice low temps and low noise.

Thanks, but its not very cheap...I just check my CPU cooler (stock) and it's black (dust), this is why he is overheating, but I clean it in begin of december and I need it again..BDW I have:
-Cooler Master Elite 370 with stock 12cm cooler in the back
-FX 6300 stock settings and cooler (just now i go in bios and set it to default)
-Asus M5A97 r2.0
-Kingstone HyperX Fury 1x4GB 1866Mhz
-GTX 260 Core 216 55nm Zotac
-Seagate Baracuda 1TB
-LG DVD
-Windows 10 Enterprice x64
-Acer V223HQ
-Genius SP-HF1200A
-Lenovo M-U0025-O
-A4Tech KX-5MU

This one will keep your CPU cool and quite.

Thanks, its better then Cooler Master 212 EVO?

It isn't as good (92mm fan instead of 120mm), but it costs less. It will be much better than the stock cooler.

 

[st3v30]

Like GhislainG wrote it is not better than 212 EVO but cost much less and if you are not gonna overclock then it is more then enough to keep your CPU in much lower temps and reduce fan noise dramatically.

Sorry for slow reply and thanks, maybe I buy it when I get the cash, but I will try to collect some more for 212 EVO

As I write to GhislainG, thanks and I'll try to collect money for EVO 212

 

[GhislainG]

That's a good decision if you want very good cooling for your CPU.

Thanks for advice
